Get Computes Flow Topology

Get Computes Flow Topology
Get compute-level flow topology graph

Returns a topology graph where computes (VMs and IPs) are nodes and flow connections are edges. Each edge represents that at least one flow exists between two computes within the time window, with aggregated unique flow counts attached.

Notes:

  • start_time is required. Either site_id or site_ids must also be provided.
  • filters accepts up to 300 filter entries.
  • Use the id of any compute node in the response with POST /visualization/flow-analysis/computes/{compute-id}/flow-details to drill into flow records for that VM.
  • To see flows between two specific computes, use POST /visualization/flow-analysis/compute-connections. To first check whether any flows exist between them, use the lightweight POST /visualization/flow-analysis/compute-connections/flow-type.
